I'm sure you've been reading--there are a lot of good threads on potty training. I think we have pretty much all been through this and some of us are still going through it! I have found that my dogs prefer to go outside. Consistency, watching them like a hawk and time will make things better. I think the big thing is age--they simply can't hold it very long at a young age. The crate is great because it helps to teach them to hold it. Get a good enzyme type cleaner to clean up all accidents including in the crate. I don't know how long you are gone but the exercise pen is a great idea if there are long periods that you are away. That way you can have a pee pad in one end with water and bedding in the other. Good luck to you--We will prevail--with time and patience!! |
